Ribosomal Structure Practice Problems

In bacterial ribosomes, the small subunit is made up of a single 16S rRNA molecule and a few smaller proteins. This 16S rRNA molecule is critical for the initial binding of ________ during the translation process.

Eukaryotic ribosomes are composed of two subunits, a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit, that combine to form a functional ____ ribosome

Bacterial ribosomes contain a small subunit made up of______ rRNA, while eukaryotic ribosomes contain a small subunit made up of ______ rRNA.

In eukaryotes, which of the following ribosomal subunits is responsible for catalyzing the formation of peptide linkage between two amino acids during translation?
